I propose an experiment of grand magnitude. What should we call it?
How about ... Bergson Smurgson?

I will arrange for a digital master of a Spirit Experiment session to be
shipped to you along with a 4-track tape deck, microphone, headphones, and
instructions on how to make it work. You will then attempt to enter into
the same jam session. You know what I am saying? To actually be jamming
as though you were with us.

What will you play?
Well, having a bunch of stuff (any traditional instruments are fine, but
don't be afraid to use your imagination. We have used children's toys,
a ratchet, and a macaroni box to name a few) around
is a good idea. It wont hurt to pick
a location that you are comfortable in ... and whether you record alone or
with others is up to you.

After you are set-up, you will play along as you listen for the first time.

What will this prove? Having conducted the experiment many times, I am
sure
that at least one of you will be able to connect. And when you do,
it will be difficult to say that past experience was an influence, however;
if you keep the notion firmly planted in your heart that past experience is
necessary, you are destined to fail.

Therefor, my hypotheses is: can you
do anything ... if you don't stop yourself?
